These sticks are so yummy - it doesn't make any sense.
Ingredients
Directions
- Bring water, salt and garlic to a boil in a medium saucepan; reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually sprinkle in cornmeal, whisking in constantly; whisk until mixture is blended and smooth.
- Cover saucepan, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally until polenta is thick but still pourable, about 6 to 8 minutes (add more water by the teaspoonful if polenta becomes too thick). Remove from heat and stir in butter substitute (like Molly McButter).
- Rinse an 8" square baking pan with cold water; do not dry pan. Pour polenta into pan; spread into a smooth layer with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Make 8 horizontal cuts in polenta in one direction and then 3 vertical cuts to yield 24 sticks.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil to skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add half of polenta sticks in a single layer.
- Cook over medium-high heat, without turning, until bottoms are slightly crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove to plate and repeat with remaining oil and polenta.
- Note: you can skip all the steps for making polenta and just buy a tube of polenta, cut it up, then fry it up.

Delicious Middle Eastern eggplant dip.
|
Sliced eggplant baked with parmesan cheese and herbs makes this treat addictive.
|
For a crispy craving these unbelievably yummy kale chips taste just like fries.
|
These treats really fill the craving of munching mindlessly.
|
Chipped potatoes baked in their skins provides a low fat alternative to fries.
|
If store-bought tortilla chips are too salty for you, try making these.
